IBM Innovate 2010.

You do so much more than just build, deliver, and manage. You innovate. And since software is the invisible thread that speeds innovation and helps us design and build the smarter products and services we need to build a smarter planet, then you deserve a revamped, upgraded, 2.0 conference. One that sparks and celebrates innovation. Get ready for� IBM Innovate 2010. The premier software systems and services event.

Complexity is a fact of life for government entities. One of the core dimensions of complexity is simply the range of services offered, and the variation that siloed approaches have created. To create smarter cities and municipalities, agencies and divisions must communicate and collaborate in ways that drive best practices around defining and delivering citizen-centric services with technology. In this video, you will hear from Roy Wiseman, CTO of the Canadian municipality of Peel, who along with other IT executives across Canada have been collaborating and capturing ideas on how to make government smarter through the development of a Municipal Reference Model. Roy will discuss how his team has worked with IBM Rational to make this model more actionable and accelerate collaboration which is improving the business of government across Canada.

For the first-ever IBM Innovate Jam 2010, a hosted, online brainstorming session, to showcase how you use this invisible thread to drive innovation around the smarter products and services we need to build a smarter planet. If you haven't "jammed" before, this is a great opportunity to join in on a pre-event activity before the Innovate conference, which will bring together our attendees via social networking and a dynamic forum for discussion, thought leadership and will also help define the direction of the IBM Innovate 2010 conference in Orlando.

At Innovate 2010 we will all have the opportunity to network with 4,000 software and systems peers, see exciting keynotes from the IBM senior executive team, learn about the future of Technology from IBM Fellow Grady Booch, hear from Dean Kamen, the creator of the Segway Personal Transporter, on the power of Innovation, and much more.

It's obvious that the face of how business are run is changing constantly. Some people embrace those changes, others are reluctant to see how these changes affect others before jumping into things on their own.

Lately, the use of social media is becoming a more integral part of the business plan, but a lot of people are reluctant to join the conversation. The question is, why? Why not get involved with social media?

There no barriers to entry and the business opportunities are seemingly endless. Which makes using social media seem like an obvious choice for businesses. So, if you haven't gotten started yet, we're giving you an opportunity to learn from IBMers who currently work on social media initiatives at IBM. Join us in the Tivoli user group networking area of the Pulse solution expo center during open expo hours to learn how you can leverage social media for your business.

Believe it or not, Rational is headed to PULSE!

Abstract: Enabling business agility requires a significant investment in software – software that delivers innovation through smarter products and services. But, clients are challenged to deliver business innovation due to the growing complexity of solution design and a history of project cost overruns, schedule slips and quality issues. To address these challenges, customers need to manage software in a process that continuously improves automation, collaboration, governance and business flexibility.
